Hearing that he said he didn't like it, Su Yan didn't force it. Some men just don't like sweets. "I wonder if there is any meat left now? Buy a few more kilograms of pork and I'll go back and smoke it. I won't go to town for a few days."
food."
She paused and then added: "I forgot to bring the smoked pheasant to sell."
"It's okay, let's keep it to eat." Qin An walked more slowly, waiting for her to follow him.
Su Yan didn't notice his move. She looked around at the pork stalls. It was getting hotter in the afternoon and many stalls were closed.
After walking two streets, I saw a pork stall. The meat had been sun-dried and was a little dry, but it didn't matter if it was made into bacon.
Su Yan poked it with her hand and said, "Uncle, why does your meat look stale?"
"Oh, it's not that it's not fresh, it's been sunburned. How much do you want? I'll give you a cheaper price. I sold it for twelve cents in the morning, so I'll give you ten cents."
"The last time I bought fresh food there, I only bought it for ten cents, seven cents, seven cents."
There was only one piece of meat left on the stall, which was about five or six kilograms.
"This is too little, sister, at least nine cents." The uncle shook his head, a little unhappy.
"Forget it, I'll buy it when I go to the market. It'll be much fresher." Su Yan pretended to leave.
The uncle gritted his teeth and called her quickly, "Chengcheng, sell it to you, and close the stall after the sale. My wife has given birth to a big fat boy, and I have to go back to make food." After saying this, his face couldn't stand up.
's smile.
Su Yan came back and congratulated her, "Congratulations to uncle. My uncle is so kind. My family must be blessed."
The uncle smiled happily and said with a bright smile: "You girl can talk, five pounds and three taels, thirty-seven yuan."
Seeing that Qin An was about to pay again, Su Yan quickly grabbed his wrist and stopped him from paying. "I'll do it." After saying that, she took out a bunch of copper coins.
The uncle glanced at the two of them and said happily, "Sister, your husband-in-law is a good man, and he lets you be the head of the family."
"My wife is also in charge of my house."
"This is not my husband, this is my eldest brother." Su Yan explained, and then she counted thirty-seven yuan and gave it to him.
The uncle looked like he had misunderstood, and while counting the coins, he said: "I thought you were a couple, you look like a couple."
Su Yan: "..."
I probably bought a few kilograms of meat from him, so they look like a couple.
She didn't say anything.
Qin An glanced at his wrist, then unnaturally put it behind his back and tightened his fingers slightly.
After loading the meat, the two of them stopped shopping. There was nothing they could buy at this moment, and there was no donkey cart after walking for most of the day.
The two had no choice but to walk back. When they arrived at the river, Qin An couldn't find the bamboo raft. He didn't know if it was being used by someone or if the rope was loose and slipped away.
There was still a long distance to cross the river. Su Yan stood under the tree by the river and said with a dry mouth: "Brother Qin, how do we get back?"
Qin An pointed to the hillside on the left, "You can go back over there, it's a bit far."
He pursed his lips and said, "You can take the village's bamboo raft back later."
The villagers thought he was unlucky and would not let him ride on the bamboo raft.
Su Yan understood what he meant, "Let's go together." After saying that, she walked over there.
Qin An was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and followed her with a backpack on his back.
After walking for a while, Su Yan understood why the villagers had to take bamboo rafts to cross the river. The mountain road was indeed too difficult to walk. There were many gravels and could slip if you were not careful.
Qin An saw her swaying as she walked, looked around, broke off a branch, held one end in his hand, and handed the other end to her, saying in a low voice: "Hold on tight."
Su Yan reached out and grabbed her. It must be said that he was strong and it was much easier to pull her up the mountain. After going up the mountain, she saw a lot of wild garlic on the roadside.
"Brother Qin, I'll pull some wild garlic and take it back to make dumplings."
After saying that, she bent down and pulled a few handfuls cleanly, but only picked up the garlic sprouts on top.
"Let me do it."
Qin An grabbed a large handful, pulled it left and right a few times, and then pulled it up after it was a little loose, shook the soil, and then put it into the basket.
Then I grabbed a few more.
Just as Su Yan was about to say something, she heard a child's voice, "Daddy."
She turned around and looked over. A five or six year old boy ran over and hugged Qin An who was pulling wild garlic.
Su Yan was shocked, "..."
I soon thought that Qin An was in his early twenties, and it was normal to have children. After all, a man always had to deal with his needs in that area, but he didn't hear any news in the village.
Soon I saw Jiang Yan, a young woman in blue cloth, walking over with a basket, and said with a smile: "I was planning to come over to give you some eggs, but I didn't expect to meet her here."
She glanced at Su Yan, and then looked at Qin An inquiringly. Qin An picked up the child and explained: "Her house was burned down, so she is staying with me temporarily."
He paused and explained to Su Yan, "They were chased by wild boars before, and I saved them."
Su Yan nodded, thinking that Jiang Yan was being chased by a wild boar, a hero saved the beauty, and pledged her life to her.
After all, the child calls him daddy.
She smiled and said, "Then tell me, I'll wait for you in front." After saying that, she made room for the family of three.
She walked a few steps and couldn't help but look back. She looked back again, and it still looked right.
I just don't know why we don't live together.
Seeing her leaving, Qin An frowned slightly.
Jiang Yan glanced at Su Yan and whispered to Qin An: "Widow Li is actually quite a good person, with a gentle temper. If she thinks she is suitable, she can marry her and live together."
"It's time for you to find a wife."
"Don't talk nonsense, don't come here in the future, the mountain road here is not easy to walk." Qin An warned.
Jiang Yan glanced at him. Widow Li was gone. He kept looking over there, obviously caring, and she didn't expose him.
"We are all used to it. Let's take these eggs back and eat them. By the way, my family is having a birthday the day after tomorrow. Come and have a meal. Don't bring anything else, otherwise you won't come."
"Fuxiang, come down, we have to go home, or daddy will come find us." After saying that, she hugged Li Fuxiang.
After they left, Qin An walked forward. After a while, he saw the woman bending down and pulling wild garlic vigorously. He couldn't help but chuckle.
He walked over and said, "Isn't it enough?"
Su Yan turned around and looked over, but didn't see the woman or child, "Why don't you ask them to go home for dinner?"
"Someone is waiting for them." After Qin An finished speaking, he knelt down and pulled some wild garlic.
Could it be that the woman remarried with the child? She glanced at Qin An and comforted her in a low voice: "Brother Qin, are you okay?"
Qin An looked at her doubtfully, and then heard her say again: "You have money now, so you can take the child with you. If it's not enough, I have some more here."
Qin An looked at her with deep eyes, and after a while he explained: "It's not my child, I'm just his godfather."
Su Yan: "..."
She "coughed" and said humbly: "I thought it was your child..."
